How do you forget about a shutout loss, play your most hated rivals the very next night. Your Pittsburgh Penguins head across the turnpike to play the Philadelphia Flyers tonight at 7:00 pm.

This is the first of many, many back to back games this year so Bill Guerin got the morning practice off however Guerin will play tonight. Here are your probable starting lineups tonight.

Kunitz - Crosby - Guerrin

Dupuis - Malkin - Fedotenko

Cooke - Staal - Kennedy

Rupp - Adams - Goddard

Orpik - Goncher

Eaton - Letang

McKee - Goligoski

Fleury

This game will most likely come down to who's style the game will be played. The Flyers rough, checking, in your face style or the Penguins heavy forechecking game.

How will the Pens respond to the Flyers and the crowd? Hopefully the Sesame Street Line can get a extended fore-check going and then Malkin and Crosby can get on the scoring early and often. Even no Talbot won't be in the lineup a quick goal by Malkin or Crosby will have the same affect as Max in Game 6.
